Percentage questions in CAT Quantitative Aptitude often appear in different forms, from changes in marks and election results to discounts, growth and depreciation. The challenge is identifying what the percentage refers to and how the original value changes. A small mistake in the base value can affect the entire calculation, especially when a question involves successive changes or several conditions.
PW videos approach Percentage through mental maths, fraction conversions, worked examples and exam-style practice. You can learn the basic concepts, recognise useful calculation shortcuts and apply percentage methods to different arithmetic problems.
These five videos on PW’s MBA Wallah cover foundation learning, practical applications and revision, helping you choose lessons that match your preparation needs.
This demo class introduces the meaning of Percentage and explains how to calculate one percentage of a given value. Interactive games, fill-in-the-blanks and winner-identification tasks provide practice with basic concepts.
The lesson also covers special integral percentages, fraction forms, the Game of 9 and 11, additional fraction concepts, basic averages, and percentage increase and decrease.
If you are new to Percentage, this lesson offers an interactive way to begin learning the topic. Work through the activities instead of simply watching the explanations, and practise converting familiar percentages into fractions.
Once you are comfortable with these basic calculations, move on to longer questions involving successive changes and practical applications.
This one-shot lesson introduces the meaning of Percentage, comparisons using a common base and basic calculation methods. It explains ways to calculate common percentage values and covers percentage increase, decrease and successive changes.
Examples, polls, practice questions and CAT previous-year questions (PYQs) help you apply the concepts to exam-style problems rather than relying only on formulas.
If you are starting Percentage or need to revise the fundamentals, use this lesson to establish a strong base. Practise the calculations before checking the solutions and focus on identifying the original value against which a percentage is calculated.
This will help you avoid common errors and develop confidence before moving to more complex arithmetic questions.
The Percentage section of this MBA MAHCET Quantitative Aptitude class builds from basic concepts towards exam-level problem-solving. It uses shortcut methods and smart calculations to help you approach arithmetic questions.
The wider session also covers Ratio, Time and Work, and Distance, Time and Speed, making it relevant to students revising several Quantitative Aptitude topics together.
Choose this video if Percentage is part of a broader arithmetic revision plan. Focus on the methods used in the Percentage section, then practise the questions independently to check your understanding.
Revisiting related arithmetic topics in the same session can also help you organise your preparation and work on calculation speed and method selection.
This arithmetic lesson connects Percentage with fractions and decimals, starting with common conversions and mental calculation methods. It covers fraction-based shortcuts, successive changes, distribution questions, assumption methods, ratio connections, unitary methods, and percentage increase or decrease.
Examples involving book printing and voting demonstrate how these methods can be applied to different problem settings.
Use this lesson if you understand the basics but take too long to complete calculations. Learn the common fraction equivalents and practise identifying when they simplify a question. For problems involving multiple steps, write down each change clearly before calculating the final value.
This can help you reduce calculation errors and solve Percentage questions more efficiently during CAT practice.
This lesson explains Percentage through the base-100 approach, fraction conversions and mental calculation techniques. Its applications include marks, passing scores, election margins, growth, depreciation, discounts, cost recovery and percentage error.
The session also covers successive changes, caselets and homework questions, giving you opportunities to apply the concepts across different arithmetic situations.
Choose this video when you need practice with application-based Percentage questions. Pay attention to how the starting value changes after each increase or decrease, particularly when a question includes successive changes.
Work through the examples before looking at the solutions and review any mistakes involving the percentage base. This will help you apply the methods more accurately to CAT-level problems.
These five PW videos cover Percentage for CAT Quantitative Aptitude Syllabus, from fundamental concepts and fraction conversions to successive changes and application-based questions. Start with the lesson that matches your current level, practise the calculations independently and revisit mistakes during revision.
Regular practice can help you identify the correct percentage base, choose efficient calculation methods and improve accuracy when solving CAT arithmetic questions under time pressure.
